The data shows the number of 0.1+ BTC wallets has grown steadily since the end of 2017’s bull run, with the 3 million wallet mark being broken earlier in the year. The accumulated wallets underwent a significant uptick over the last several months, as bitcoin drew broader mainstream attention for the halving.
Glassnode’s data also shows that the number of daily active bitcoin addresses is fluctuating between 800,000 – 900,000.
